Linfield College Study Abroad Policy on Transfer of Credit and Financial Aid Linfield students who study abroad on Linfield programs maintain their enrollment as Linfield students. Language majors, who are required to spend a year abroad, will also maintain their enrollment as Linfield students through participation in a Linfield administered program. All other students wishing to study abroad through other institutions must take a leave of absence (Section I, below). Regarding transfer of credit for study abroad, there are two different types of approval necessary: approval of the program itself (e.g., the University of Minnesota program in Montpellier), and approval of individual courses for transfer credit. The process for obtaining these two types of approval is outlined in the sections that follow. While approval of the program itself generally implies that all courses successfully completed will transfer as elective credit, students wishing to receive credit toward a major or minor, or toward the Linfield Curriculum, must follow the policy and procedures as explained in Section II, below. The college requires that all students who wish to take part in non-Linfield programs apply for pre-approval of the program

Linfield has a long tradition of preparing students for the health professions. A large number of practicing physicians, surgeons, and dentists serving in all parts of the world began their scientific and liberal arts work at Linfield, and continued through some of the finest health professions training programs. Students interested in health professions may declare any major. Students will work with the pre-health advisors to ensure they are also working towards completing the appropri- ate prerequisites for their chosen field. The basic science courses required for entrance to the health professions listed are offered at Linfield. These requirements are slightly different for each profession, but generally include one year each of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Students in these programs have access to the expertise of both a pre-professional advisor and their major advisor. Students should consult both of these faculty members early in their aca- demic careers to receive up-to-date information.
Engineering and Business Administration
Coordinator Joelle Murray, Ph.D.
A substantial number of prospective students who indicate an interest in pre-engineering also have an interest in business administration. Some of these students may be attracted to a program which prepares them for graduate study leading to a master’s degree in technical management. Graduate programs in technical management are offered at a number of high quality institutions under the names of technology management, industrial engineering, or operations research. At least three preparatory options are available to Linfield students: (1) the Applied Physics major; (2) the Chemistry major with a dditional courses in business; (3) the 3-2 Pre-engineering pro- gram. Students should expect to take MATH 170 and 175, as well as COMP 160. Two points need to be stressed to those considering a career in technical management. First, a business degree alone is generally not adequate preparation for a career in technical management; most people engaged in the management of technology are tech- nically trained. Second, this is a rigorous program, most suitable for students with a record of academic success.
